The BBC soap star said the former couple had given up after a six-month relationship, but confirmed they are still friends.
She said The mirror: ‘It’s wonderful to be here tonight, because Max’s mother is here and I haven’t seen her in a long time, I adore her.
So it’s great to catch up with her. We’re actually better than ever. It’s a friendship, we’re in such a good place.

“You take a risk, and you do something and it doesn’t work out, but that’s life, you have to take that risk.”
Max and Shona’s romance first came to light in May 2022 after sources claimed the pair were ‘inseparable’ following his split from girlfriend Roisin, and they made their relationship Instagram official in August.
However, Shona has already moved on when she confirmed that she is currently “talking to someone new” but hasn’t revealed details as “it’s still very early days.”
In the evening, Shona made sure to turn heads when she arrived at the 2023 British Soap Awards at The Lowry in Salford.
The actress, who plays Whitney Dean in Eastenders, turned heads in a floor-length royal blue dress with sequins and long sleeves.
She showed off her long slender legs in the sensational ensemble, sporting a thigh-high slit on one side of the garment.
Shona added a few inches to her stature by wearing a pair of nude strappy heels with diamond detailing.
Shona wore a lot of makeup to accentuate her beautiful features and accompanied by a pair of earrings.
Max also attended the soap awards and looked smart in a gray double-breasted blazer which he paired with beige trousers and a white shirt and black tie.
